** Personal Skegness 'First'

By chance I happened to be awake around 0330 so I checked the FM band. I am glad I did too as all the German activity had subsided by 1000.

Nice to catch Radio Peterborough at last. This was often swamped by Heart and occasionaly overtaken by France Bleu Nord from Calais. Maybe this evening's fog helped it all.

Still nothing from Radio Cheltenham.

Good DX!
